At a Glance: 3-Step Vendor Registration & Instant Onboarding
Step 1 — Account & Corporate Email: Enter your name, corporate business email, company name, and official website URL.
Step 2 — 6-Digit Email OTP: Verify your email authenticity in seconds with an auto-focused one-time security passcode.
Step 3 — Product Profile & Launch: Choose Software (SaaS) or Services, set your primary category, and launch your profile.
Fast-Track Approval: Corporate email matching your website domain unlocks instant 0-minute approval to your full Vendor Dashboard!
To verify work email authenticity without tedious password resets:
A 6-digit one-time passcode (OTP) is automatically dispatched to your corporate inbox.
Auto-focused single-digit input boxes allow fast keyboard or paste entry.
A 60-second resend countdown protects your delivery rate.
Once the 6-digit code is verified, your authenticated session is generated immediately.
👤 Step 2: Listing Type & Initial Product Profile
Select how your company goes to market:
Listing Type: Choose between "Software" (for SaaS, desktop applications, mobile tools, developer APIs) or "Services" (for digital agencies, IT consultancies, custom software development shops).
Product / Software Name: The official title of your primary tool.
Primary Category: Choose the best taxonomy match (e.g., Project Management, CRM, AI Video, Cybersecurity).
Company Size Tier: Select your headcount bracket (1–10, 11–50, 51–200, 201–500, 501–1000, 1000+).
Key Market Competitors: Add 2 to 3 main competitors (e.g., Jira, Asana, Linear) so SoftwareHope can seed your comparison tables.
Value Tagline: A crisp 10–150 character hook summarizing your core benefit.
🛡️ Step 3: Domain Verification & Portal Access
SoftwareHope enforces strict trust and anti-impersonation standards:
Automatic Instant Approval (Corporate Domain Match): If your email domain matches your company's website root domain (e.g. [email protected] registering stripe.com), your vendor account is instantly approved!
Technical Domain Verification (Domain Mismatch): If you registered using a subsidiary or personal email, you can verify ownership in under 60 seconds using:
1. DNS TXT Record: Add a temporary TXT token to your DNS records.
2. HTML Meta Tag: Add a meta tag verification string to your homepage <head>.
3. Well-Known File: Upload a text verification file to /.well-known/softwarehope-verification.txt.
Dedicated Review SLA: If you prefer manual review, our Trust & Safety team processes submissions within 2 to 4 business hours.
💡
Pro TipRegistering with an email that matches your software's website domain bypasses the manual queue entirely and grants immediate access to your full Vendor Dashboard!
